Carcass' $150 Low Budget Grow 2019

[Carcass]

Thanks, HashGirl!

I believe in runts!

This is my Alaskan Purple auto runt from last year- it was actually "runtier" than the Iced Grapefruit...
I had to top it down to the first node-

And here she is at harvest time...(she recovered pretty well )

 

[BigD13]

she recovered pretty well

Well that’s an understatement. Congrats on your MOTM nomination!

 

[BooWho2]

Damnnn. Maybe I shouldn’t be tossing those DDas. Lol!

Thanks, BigD!
Yeah, that Alaskan Purple almost got culled, Glad it didn't- she taught me a lesson about runts!

Damnnn. Maybe I shouldn’t be tossing those DDas. Lol!

As good as you are with autos, you might just be tossing out some monsters!

Very cool box!

VetSmoke and you leading the way with DIY micro boxes - that's inspiring

On the inside it is.

The outside is uglier than a sack full of arseholes.

Monday's here half over, so it's time for the Monday Update!

There's actually not very much to report on today, but here's what I've got going on:
Here's a SaugaView® into the box- the tiny thing on the left is the little mutant Iced Grapefruit (which seems to be getting more mutant-ish every day) and in the middle is the Kalashnikov auto from Dope Seeds.

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with the mutant- I think I'm going to have to top it- where there should be 2 new branches sprouting, there's just 1 leaf sprouting, and it's not even a good leaf :

I had to top an Alaskan Purple auto awhile back for the exact same reason- it set it back about 3 weeks or so, but it ended up doing alright, pretty sure this one is going to need the same thing...

The Kalashnikov auto got topped on Friday @ 16 days old, which is about 4 days later than usual-
today is day 19 , so it could start flowering any time, but it hasn't started yet, so that's a good thing...

It's doing pretty well, the only feed it's gotten so far is the 2.5oz of GeoFlora that I amended the ProMix with before I up potted- It's due for its first real feeding later today or tomorrow, which consists of 2.5oz of @GeoFlora Nutrients veg nutes sprinkled on top of the soil, and then watered in- this will happen every 14 days from here on in...The only change will be when I switch to bloom nutes, which probably won't be very long from now, since this one's an auto...

And a pic through the door- I'm really liking the new light, and so are the plants- Thanks @Atreum Lighting !

And since this is a short update, I figured I'd throw in a pic of a few little SSH nugs...

And that's about it for today-It's not much, but things should get more interesting as time goes on..
Thanks for looking, I really appreciate your support!
And please, continue to stay as safe as possible out there!

You really are the Bud Master.

If you teach me to grow even a quarter as good as you do I’ll be stoked!

Oh my heart!

Me too.

And I’m so pleased with your result.

Never judge a book by its butt ugly cover..

Thanks for the kind words, Trala!
Just keep looking in on the Kalashnikov auto I'm growing now- it's going to get trained to end up
short-ish and bushy....(If it cooperates- you never know with autos)

Carcass is Justin your son like seed of your loins implanted into his mother son?

^^^^ prolly could have just gone with is Justin your son? and left it at that to be fair.

The implanting/loins/mother part sort of typed itself.

LOLLINGGGGG

He sure is...his mom was my high school sweetheart, then we got married, and I proceeded to drink that marriage to death (1976)
Just one of the many reasons I don't drink anymore...

Oh I thought so. I noticed you called him son. I call my son “son” too. I know some people generalise the term so I wasn’t sure.

My son is 30. I had him waaaaaay too young. During his first four years I was my worst me. Did you have more children in your second marriage?

 

[Carcass]

Yeah, I kept pretty busy..
3 more sons and a daughter with the current Mrs.C...

 

[syenite]

Looking forward to this new run, Carcass!

Well, it's the inner beauty that counts - always

@Carcass : What is that lead (temp probe?) arrangement with a cup on it in the back left corner?

 

[Trala]

Well, it's the inner beauty that counts - always

True. It doesn’t matter what the outside looks like, it’s the inside that counts.... unless that outside is as ugly as a sack full of arseholes - like Carcasses grow box for example.

I love the way you say current so she still has the option to upgrade if she wants to.

I stopped at one. I never married, I like the thought of an easy escape if I want to pack a bag, drain the bank accounts and run. Tho to be fair, this current one night stand has gone on for almost 20 years.

Wow Carcass that looks really amazing. I just sat down from having vapcap of WW, and at your post I had to contemplate what I was seeing. You had to top it, a runt? It's like you're describing someone with broken arm going to the hospital then showing the photo after they've come out, now with 25 arms! It is so compact yet so laden, a real photogenic beauty!

IKR! It would have been great to see a time-lapse grow of that plant!

After 44 years, I'm thinking she just might be "the one"

You had to top it, a runt?

Thanks for the kind words, Stunger!
Yes, almost identical to the Iced Grapefruit- instead of growing another node, it just sprouted 1 leaf- so I had to top it so the 2 lower branches would take over for the non-existent top..

It would have been great to see a time-lapse grow of that plant!

Just keep your eye on the present runt- it's headed down the same road! (it got topped yesterday...)
Looks like I may get 3 growth tips on this one...
